Maybe this will be the Gnome release that convinces me to enjoy Gnome.
It depends if you were ever interested in Gnome at all.
My main beef with Gnome is that without an extra tool package, files and directories that you place in the /home/whateverUser/Desktop directory don't actually appear on the desktop. It's been a while since I've given Gnome a chance (notwithstanding a recent thread), so maybe my gripe is no longer valid.
I believe Gnome Tweak has a option to enable Desktop. But it was never an issue for me because I dislike anything on there except for wallpaper.
I know with Elementary OS, they removed Desktop folder.
Yeah, my gripe isn't a functional one. It's more of an aesthetic gripe: "why have that folder if it doesn't make stuff appear on the GUI's desktop?"
Because in Fedora for example allows you to log in using Gnome classic.

Actually, I got it working with bumblebee-project installed. It did not work in Korora 25, but seems to be working in 26.
I prefixed the wow-64.exe with optirun and it just worked. Great framerate too. I just need to work out the mouse capture part yet. But that's not a big deal since I don't play that game much anyways. It was just easy to test with because it's on an external drive. Hopefully it's not like that in NMS.
My cpu fan is still running full speed from the glxgear test, even though it's way cooled down by now. A reboot may fix that, though.
I hope Fedora 26 stays just as it is. "Works" great so far. More so than 25.

Also - is connecting to the local desktop the only option on using that computers speakers?
I've installed MATE, and am able to connect via that now - but it plays Pithos using the main computers speakers. not what I want... when I have the stereo system on the other side of the room....
There should be options to tunnel the sound through the SSH session.
He wants to use X2Go as a remote control for the machine with the audio playing.
Ah ok. I read that wrong, my bad.

@travisdh1 I agree, not very impressed that Mint included this but did not test it or respond to people with issues. Better to not have it in there.
Do you have the Cinnamon or Mate Desktop? It would make sense that you couldn't run a Gnome application without running in a Gnome environment. Although I could be mistaken.
Just because you run a different GUI doesn't mean you can't run apps meant for a different one. KDE and GNOME apps normally run just fine in the other type of desktop assuming all dependencies are met.
Cinnamon is Gnome 3, though.
Hrm, just gets worse and worse.
Yeah, I'd expect @StrongBad to have good luck here. I see the same thing, doesn't run.

Is linux better than it was, sure, is it as good for non techies as Windows, possible I suppose as I haven't installed Mint in ... ever.
I've tried testing this before and I've never seen any non-techie feel that Windows was better. Literally, never. I've only seen experienced Windows users that did not want to switch. Starting from scratch, Linux has always been found to be easier in the few "greenfield" tests that I've ever seen.

Lots of features but much cleaner than Unity for sure and still clean for GNOME. GNOME was always my favorite. Heck, my taskbar still resides at the top because it just feels more comfortable there. I credit running Ubuntu solely for at least two years for that little ditty. Started at 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. Good times...mind drifts off into nostalgia

Find it odd you have GNOME at the bottom. Again though, I haven't given them enough or really any time as of late, to have an opinion. GNOME at least was my favorite but they could have ruined it in recent years.
